Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 382 381. Think positively, this is an application for small machines, right? (Part )
The Yorozuya immediately changed his job to become a beer manufacturing worker on the spot, while Seifer stayed up until around noon, watching the convoy that had left in the middle of the night and was now coming back to start preparations.

Stars who are always enthusiastic and cheerful in front of others, who genuinely treasure their audiences and who are willing to return to the stage even when they are extremely tired, this sincere enthusiasm can naturally infect others.

To be honest, if Cypher went to the concert in his original form, he might also be infected by the enthusiasm. After all, living things and metal are different.

This metal body has no breathing or heartbeat, nor does it have that kind of sudden flash of inspiration or surge of "happiness" like an electric shock.

The reason why I can remain rational and calm in the meeting is that I am not affected by the atmosphere.

While waiting at the agreed roadside, Sefer had a brief conversation with Shengnai... The main content was that Sefer wanted to know if there was any technology in the world that could change a person's thinking and mind?
The answer is quite a lot.

Even professional medical staff like Shengnai, who only care about treating patients, know that due to the existence of independent mercenaries with special licenses, each company has its own set of policies for human enhancement and transformation.

If the physical enhancements can keep up, why can't the brain? There are so many references in the anomaly... Even if we exclude those with strange abilities, there are still many technically related ones left.

Shengnai said that I/O Enterprise had suffered a lot of losses in the past due to a vision. In that vision, there was a person called "Master". It was said that as long as he wanted, he could easily control other people's thoughts.

Sefer really wanted to ask the master if he was bald and had a mind amplifier behind his head, but then he thought that visions were not reasonable, so maybe it was someone else.

Therefore, no matter which company it is, there is always a group of core warriors. These people have been transformed by technology and similar psychotherapy for a long time. Before they are completely replaced by unmanned units, they should be the backbone of the force.

As they were chatting, a car suddenly stopped slowly beside Seifer. In the car window was a man wearing the uniform of Abian Company. He dressed quite decently and looked like he was on field work every day.

"Why are you here? Get in the car. The project we're going to run today is not an easy one."

Seeing that Seifer didn't move, he added, "I don't understand why I should try to cooperate with you on this mission assigned to me by my superiors, but on the surface, you're my sales assistant, so that's okay, right?"

Seifer took out his ID badge, and the other party scanned it with his portable device, nodded, and motioned for him to get in the car.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right back after I drop her off."

"My time is limited, don't delay."

Seifer led Shengnai to a nearby alley where no one could see her. He asked her seriously, "Do we really have to use this method? You might call it infiltration, but it will be very uncomfortable before you actually reach the target."

"It's okay. Cypher is right beside me, and as usual, he'll quietly wait or watch until I'm needed!"

It sounded like she was observing from the sidelines. Cypher turned, the skin on his back stretched out by a complex metal structure.

The complex internal structure, from the top to the chest cavity of the body, and the bottom to the end area of the thigh, was all unfolded, as if Cypher had become an empty shell.

This form is different from the backup forms that can change their own structural connections, extend super-long arms and legs as extensions, or be equipped with combat blades and small artillery for close combat.

This spare body is equipped with a single-person protection module, which is simply an ultra-small exoskeleton armor. Cypher probably designed it to be useful for quick transfer when the main body is in danger and cannot stay in the tank.

Because the main body has no combat power at all, it is basically just a spoil of war. If someone were to defeat the mobile base and loot it, it would probably become daily necessities and nighttime supplies.

Now was the perfect time for Shengnai to try it out first. She carefully placed her foot on the spot, gestured a few times, and then uttered a puzzled "Hmm?"

"What's wrong?" "It seems to be a little small. If I stand inside, I won't be able to squeeze in at all."

Cypher thought for a moment, then maintained a waiting position, letting her push her knees against the inner padding—it was just right.

After confirming this, Seifer told her not to struggle, closed the cover on her back, flipped her arms over, and helped Shengnai fold her forearms onto her upper arms, supporting her elbows with the arms of the spare body.

His arms folded together, accompanied by the sound of the metal structure closing and locking. Seifer stood up straight and felt... as if he didn't feel anything. After all, it was just an "iron shell".

He whispered to Shengnai if this was uncomfortable, and after learning that she felt quite relaxed, Sefer turned around, picked up the shoes on the ground, put them in the box of the tricycle, smoothed the leather on his back, and put his clothes away.

During this time, Shengnai chuckled softly and said that he felt forced to move, and that everything in front of him was pitch black, which made him feel a little panicked.

...It seems that Feldridge is quite afraid of this kind of restraint. If she plays a prank or makes trouble next time, just trick her in. It might work!

Adjusting its internal structure, it shared its vision with the special contact lenses Shengnai wore in his eyes: "Next, don't talk in front of people. This body's soundproofing function is very average. If you are found out, both of us will be kicked out."

"I know... Hehe, I always feel like I'm surrounded by Cypher. I'm kind of happy."

Why she was so happy, Sefer didn't know, but when he returned to the car, the person inside looked unhappy.

He glanced at the time and said it was too slow. How could he become a sales assistant at that speed?

After expressing his apology in a light tone, Seifer got into the car, and Shengnai suddenly let out a soft cry.

Well, the kneeling position does hurt the legs, but fortunately it is not a dead sitting position. At least she can sit on the inner padding, so that her legs will not hurt later.

The salesperson asked, "What kind of technology are we going to provide? Entertainment companies have been very aggressive lately and have already purchased the rights to some of our core technologies."

Seifer tried not to move too much. He rested his hands on the backrest of the car and seemed to be in the zone. "We've almost covered the technical aspects. Now I need to bring the goods in."

"How do you do that in reverse? I know you want to meet that superstar's agent, but without enough leverage, the best you can do is meet with the agent."

It seemed Feldridge had told him something, but not much.

"Believe me, with the greedy nature of entertainment companies, they can't help it." Seifer's current posture as a silver-haired and cold-faced female mercenary can scare many people.

As long as you show enough confidence, instead of forcing yourself like Alu, this expression can convince many people.

A fast-filling beer that can even be adjusted to a richer and more complex taste. Another aspect is the endorsement of Albion's related "promotions." These two factors mean that the entertainment company will have a large amount of unexpected long-term benefits.

It just so happened that Feldrich wanted to give someone a lesson and make him understand that getting too close to rubbish like entertainment companies would only bring bad luck and financial losses, and the two of them hit it off.

As for how to do it specifically, it depends on whether this deal can be negotiated.

If all goes well, Feldrich will be able to use this case to forcefully pry open the mouths of certain people and drive them out of the company.
